*********************************************************************** 04/09/2018 - Additional Vendor Q & A posted
Question: The draft RFP has the requirement for "Test report or Government Certification of offered product correlating to the BFTN Spec showing testable compliance to STANAG5066 Edition 3, STANAG 4691 Edition 1, and MIL-STD-188-110D" as part of the proposal submission. Since BFTN is primarily a production contract, does this requirement have to be fulfilled by the prime contractor or may a subcontractor's past performance be used to satisfy this requirement?
Answer: The Government will evaluate the 3 most recent and relevant past performance from prime and/or major subcontractors.
*********************************************************************** 04/03/2018 - Attachment 8 (Past Performance Questionnaire) and Attachment 9 (Relevant Experience Form) posted.
*********************************************************************** 04/03/2018 - Additional Vendor Q & A posted
Question: Due to large number of materials and components needed for quotes, request that Government allow prime offerors to distribute drawings from the TDP to domestic subcontractors/sub-vendors.
Answer: The Government prefers to have subcontractors request TDP individually; however, the prime vendor may submit a list of all its subcontractors/sub-vendors that it intends on distributing part or all of the TDP to, including Cage code and JCP Certification number for each subcontractor/sub-vendor. Once we, the Government verifies, we will authorize the prime vendor to distribute part or all of the TDP to those subcontractors/sub-vendors only.
